lyrics

On the other side of heaven
By the twilight's last gleam
I was working for a dollar
They were charging by the seat

While all the admiration
Was wasted on defeat
My brother, my mother
They were expecting me

There can be light without darkness
There can be truth with no lies told
There can be days spent apart from love
Without a need for something new to hold

I stood in shallow water
While I stared long at the sun
The words that I recited
Were written for someone

Enlightened and excited
For what they thought would come
I let my head fall slowly
But sang no hateful song

There can be joy without failure
There can be hope with no remorse
There can be lives lived completely
Without others knowing what they were living for

There can be light without darkness
There can be truth with no lies told
There can be days spent apart from love
Without a need for something new to hold
